Identifying the Genetic Basis of Fetal Loss in Cows and Heifers Through a Genome-Wide Association Analysis.
Animals : an open access journal from MDPI ·doi:10.3390/ani16020293

Fetal loss, the spontaneous termination of pregnancy between day 42 and 260 of gestation, is poorly understood. Impacts of fetal loss include loss of production, increased health risk, and economic loss. The aims of this study were to ident…

Validation of loci and genes associated with fertility in Holstein cows using gene-set enrichment analysis-SNP and genotype-by-sequencing.
BMC genomics ·doi:10.1186/s12864-025-11364-9

BackgroundThe financial strain fertility issues cause the dairy cattle industry is substantial, with over $7 billion in lost revenue accrued annually due to a relatively low cow conception rate (CCR; 30-43%) for US dairy cows. While CCR has…

Loci and pathways associated with uterine capacity for pregnancy and fertility in beef cattle.
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0188997

Infertility and subfertility negatively impact the economics and reproductive performance of cattle. Of note, significant pregnancy loss occurs in cattle during the first month of pregnancy, yet little is known about the genetic loci influe…
